Yes, I'm a degenate gambler.
I think Whitaker is guaranteed to win Best Actor, and Helen Mirren for best actress.
I think Alan Arkin will win for supporting, and that the little girl from Little Miss Sunshine will win in a surprise, because really, Whitaker will pretty much use up the darky quotient for the year.
Cars will probably win the animated category, but I don't really have an opinion there.
I like Pan's Labyrinth for art direction, as it had the most lusciously filmed scene of a fisherman being beaten to death with a bottle ever.
Cinematography is a tough one. I'd tend to say Pan's Labyrinth again, as the faceless white child eating monster was filmed brilliantly. I have no idea why 'The Prestige' or 'The Illusionist" are even in this category, and Black Daliah was well filmed, but it looks like ever other Brian Depalma movie.
Costuming, I have no idea, but if "Prada" wins I'll shake my fist in rage.
Directing, I think it has to be Scorsese's turn by now, even though Departed is easily the weakest film he's been nominated for. On the other hand, the Academy's felating of Eastwood seems to know no bounds, so that wouldn't surprise me.
Inconvenient Truth should win the best doc pretty easily, I'd think. I was surprised "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" wasn't nominated, but I guess messing with the MPAA isn't conducive to getting Oscar nominations.
Short subject and editing, I have no idea about.
Apocolypto will probably win makeup, depending how many Jews vote.
Pan's will win forgiven language.
Notes on a Scandal will probably win for score, because Phillip Glass is due.
I imagine one of the three Dreamgirls songs will win best song, but it'd be funny if they didn't.
Little Miss Sunshine is definitely the best picture of the nominees, but Babel will probably win.
Adapted Screenplay should go to Borat, but it won't The Departed probably wins even though the changes made from Infernal Affairs only made it a weaker film.
Original screenplay is a tough call this year. Pan's was certainly well written, but the academy tends to like complicated ensemble writing so I think Babel probably wins here.

Beyond the opportunity to make a quick buck, what holds your interest in these awards type shows? I've never been inclined to ever care about any competition type show or awards show. Mind you I also never watch anything along the lines of Entertainment Tonight, etc. because I have no interest in the lives of some random folk who happened to choose acting as a career. Please enlighten me.

Only disagreement is Supporting Actor - I think Arkin probably deserves it, but Peter O'Toole's been passed over so many times I reckon he'll get the guilt-vote.

I agree! Although, they did give him that honorary one a year or two ago...they may be assuaged.

I'd like Djimon Hounsou to win best supporting for "Blood Diamond." The film may have been way to freaking preachy, but he still did a great job.
You know, you would think I'd be all over this topic like white on Elderon, but really, I could care less. I'm rooting for Eddie Murphy just because I think it's the best he's done at anything, but that's about it.

Posted: Feb 08 2007 at 12:11 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Fortunately i've yet to see any of these movies, and for that i'm extremely grateful.
I can't really comment on this because the only movie on that list that I've seen is the Pirates of the Caribbean. Anyone got odds on how many people with thank God?

I think Little Miss Sunshine was a brilliant little film, funny, clever, touching, and entertaining while managing not to get cheesy. More of those, please.
Whitaker was quite immense in the Last King of Scotland.
And Clint Eastwood should really be the next President of the US, maybe after Obama, maybe before, I don't mind, but he is that cool.
As for the rest, I thought Blood Diamond was just a run-of-the-mill action film in an "ethical scenario", though Leo was pretty good. I'd also like Scorsese to get something, though I completely agree the Departed is not one of his best films.

Every year when these awards come around it seems like I've seen fewer and fewer of the films. The only one of all those listed that I've seen was Letter From Iwo Jima and I just rented that one this weekend. It was meh. I would have gotten The Departed but they were out of copies of that one.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

that movie's worth it just so see Leonardo getting his brains splattered all over the wall..
Which is pretty much all I remember of it.
Departed was the only movie I saw this season, and that's only because I'm a huge fan of Matt Damon. I still need to watch The Good Shepherd.

Over lunch, Rush Limbaugh was going on about how the Academy Awards were all elitist and only interested in their own concept of "art" and not what the public was interested in. More specifically, he noted how few top grossing movies win awards, thus showing how out of touch the Academy is with the movie-going public.
With that in mind, I quickly looked up the Top 10 Grossing films of 2006:The last one is moot is TPoH was up for awards and I don't know if any of the rest were up for technical awards. But, I dunno... which one do you think should have won best picture or the best acting awards?
With that in mind, I quickly looked up the Top 10 Grossing films of 2006:
